Very common, there is an issue with one of the car's wheel hubs, either the hub itself, or the wiring going to the hub

Interesting. I my 05 Impala had that problem and eventually I scanned it to read the ABS code and it only had an issue with the ground wire at the brake control module - I cleaned the ground and have not had any issues since. Not sure if your MC have that issue.

Hmm...that's something I'll definitely look into. I didn't know it could be something simple like that . Thanks I'll have my mechanic check it

I had the same problem. Replaced the hub, worked for a month then it came back. Replaced the wire, and its fixed. Wire is cheaper than a hub so try that 1st.

Thanks, I'll definitely get that checked out first
